Christy Moore - Butterfly (So Much Wine) lyrics
[Christy Moore - Butterfly So Much Wine lyrics]
I had nothing to say on Christmas Day when
You threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burned your hair
Knocked over the chair
I tried to stay out of your way
But when you fell asleep with
Blood on your teeth
I got into my car and drove away
Listen to me butterfly
There's only so much wine you
Can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
Where the highway starts I parked my car
I got out and stared up at the stars
As meteors died and shot across the sky
I thought about your sad shining eyes
I came back for my clothes
When the sun finally rose
You were still passed out on the floor
Listen to me butterfly
There's only so much wine you
Can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
You threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burned your hair
Knocked over the chair
I tried to stay out of your way
But when you fell asleep with
Blood on your teeth
I got into my car and drove away
Listen to me butterfly
There's only so much wine you
Can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
Where the highway starts I parked my car
I got out and stared up at the stars
As meteors died and shot across the sky
I thought about your sad shining eyes
I came back for my clothes
When the sun finally rose
You were still passed out on the floor
Listen to me butterfly
There's only so much wine you
Can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
